Is there a limit to the number of pages you can create within a Designer form? And does it affect performance? I've currently a form with 230 pages and need to go to 450 pages (it is a facilities survey form noting individual issues within a building).
TIA ... John
I wasn't sure of the answer here, so I asked around to our engineering group. Basically the effect of moving from 230 pages to 450 pages really depends on how many objects you have on each page.
There is no practical limit to how many pages your form could have. Engineering says that "technically" a form could support many many thousands of pages, but in reality, if the pages are loaded with form objects, you'd likely run out of memory before you would run into the maximum number of pages allowable.
Performance has a similar answer, the more objects on the additional pages, the more memory required to deal with those pages, and hence a slower performance. If you added only blank pages to your form, you shouldn't see any performance deterioration from what you experience with your 230 page form. However, I don't suppose you are adding 220 blank pages, so I guess you'd need to consider how many new form objects you will be introducing on the new pages.
I hope that helps. Please respond and let me know if it doesn't.
All the best,
Alex
